Powers, Edmund

High Street, Leicester, Leicestershire; cabinet and chair maker, joiner and turner (fl. 1746–52)

Made free in 1746 by servitude to John Elliott. 

In 1752 he bound an apprentice named Thickpenny. 

A double topped mahogany tea and games table on cabriole legs, with a frieze decorated with blind Chinese fret is recorded, with this maker's label pasted in the drawer. On this label he claimed to make and sell a wide range of cabinet furniture, tables, chairs, beds and other items applicable to his trade [Freemen rolls; Society of Genealogists apprentice index; Sotheby's, 2 June 1967, lot 141].
